then one will not get it from headphones, period. Senn HD800 will give you decent imaging localization and depth, better than HD6xxx or any AKG, but it still sounds like headphone imaging in the end. Ditto for various electrostats. AKG K1000 is kind of more like it, but not really in the end. If you rotate out the drivers to more closely resemble speakers, bass diminishes too much, affecting even midrange IME.
But I enjoy them all anyway because they have their headphone virtues, which speakers cannot achieve, either.
Follow Ups:
I think there are other things to focus on with headphones. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the "presence" of a headphone when you first hear one. Also, many headphone reviews tend to chop up headphone audio qualities into its different parts. (The same is true for speaker reviews). I look for a headphone that has a presentation that sounds like music, which is probably as subjective as it gets. I keep going back to my 701s without apology.
